Can we have some fun with the election and post our best guesstimates of the final electoral college count, the final percentage of the popular vote, and of the total post-election Senate and House counts? It would be fun to do this starting and ending on Nov. 3. The prize? Bragging rights as being either the most acute poll watcher or the luckiest.

I usually read the Volokh blog to remind myself that not all conservatives are raving lunatics. In this discussion most admit that it's no horse race.

An interesting statement in the comments section on the link:
This is what it's sunk to? Republicans hoping that racism is still present enough in American for their candidate to win as a result of it?

A poll is not a prediction. It is a snapshot of how people are thinking right now.

OK, I'm ready now. Obama 348-378 votes. There aren't enough undecided voters to make a difference, and McCain's sure not going to sway any Democrats at this late date.
